Pictured, television personalities and comedy duo Hamish Blake and Andy Lee on the 10th hole of the Lakes Golf Club – playing the Pro-Am day Emirates Australian Open 2011
Pictured is Mario Fenech of Australia’s the Footy Show. Hipstamatic doesn’t do a good job of even lighting on the face when the subject isn’t brightly lit.
This is Jim, pictured at a 50′s event in Sydney’s east. I was waiting for ten minutes so as to do the portrait outside but he couldn’t leave his stall in the end so I settled for inside as I had to leave. Hipstamatic portraits often suffer in low light. Such an interesting face!!
My name is Melvyn Knipe and I am a professional newspaper photographer working in and around the streets of Sydney CBD, Australia.
I photograph people on a daily basis and have recently started documenting these encounters by taking a portrait on my iPhone 4 using the Hipstamatic app.
Some portraits are from pre-arranged shoots, after I have shot the subject with my usual work camera gear I will take a photograph with Hipstamatic.
Some portraits are of the charactors and interesting people I meet around the city of Sydney. These portraits are almost always random and unplanned.
